Hear the difference
The same Hungarian sentence, twice. David is a Hungarian speaker; Zoe reads Hungarian spelling as if it were English - and in Hungarian s is sh and sz is s, the exact opposite of what an English eye expects.
The Hungarian voices
All 7 run on the ElevenLabs tiers: Enhanced at 110 credits / 1,000 characters (≈ $0.23 per minute of speech) and Premium at 160 (≈ $0.33) for the most natural result. The Standard tier reads Hungarian too at 50 credits, and for most languages it has native voices of its own. Every clip downloads as MP3. Browse the voice library →
Why a native Hungarian voice matters
Hungarian spelling is completely regular, which is exactly what trips up a foreign voice: it is regular by rules English does not have. s is the sh sound and sz is the plain s, so Budapest is Budapesht; cs is ch, zs is the s in pleasure, and gy, ny and ty are single soft consonants rather than two letters. Stress falls on the first syllable of every word without exception, and because Hungarian piles suffixes onto its words - házainkban, in our houses - a voice has to hold that first-syllable stress across words far longer than English ones.
Vowel length is marked and meaningful. kor is age and kór is disease, örült is was glad and őrült is mad, and the long ő and ű have no English equivalent at all. All seven voices are Hungarian speakers. David is a deep, sincere narrator and the most used voice of this whole set; Peter is a young, easygoing storyteller, Nolen calm and clear, Freddy natural with a deeper register. Vera and Mária are high-energy voices built for commercials, and Zsófia is soft and warm, suited to storytelling and guided meditation.

Frequently asked questions
Does it get s, sz, cs and zs right?
Yes - these are native speakers, so s is sh, sz is s, cs is ch and zs is zh, and gy, ny and ty are read as the single palatal sounds they are. This is the first thing that fails when a foreign voice reads Hungarian.
What about long vowels and long words?
Long vowels are held long, so pairs like kor and kór or örült and őrült stay apart, and the stress stays on the first syllable even in long suffixed words. Very long compounds read best when the text is spelled exactly as it should be.
Which voice suits what?
For audiobooks and long reading, David or Freddy; for explainers and calm narration, Nolen; for something younger and relaxed, Peter. For advertising, Vera or Mária; for stories, meditations and anything intimate, Zsófia.
How much does Hungarian text to speech cost?
Native voices cost 110 credits per 1,000 characters on Enhanced or 160 on Premium. A 1,000-character paragraph is roughly a minute of speech - about $0.23 on Enhanced at the $5 pack rate. No subscription.
